http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22623 Tabulator (U+0009) character in element attribute not serialized as numerical entity by default xml serializer ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-08-25 22:11 ------- Hi Christian, the internals that I put in my previous append were more to remind myself of the spots to consider. I've had a brief discussion of this with Henry Zongaro and we are agreeing with you. Attribute-Value Normalization section that you quote indicates that these characters seen on input 0x20, 0xD, 0xA, 0x9 will be converted into a space (0x20) so Xalan would only see a space. One reason for Xalan seeing attributes with any of of 0xD, 0xA or 0x9 is because they were originally an entity references that you really do want to get around this normalization issue. I consider this a legitimate bug in Xalan. I'm thinking about a fix where if Xalan sees XML attributes with values containing 0xD 0xA or 0x9 that it writes out the numerical entity reference for them ( 	 ). - Brian
